thanks for checking it out DD - and your comments. Originally this was going to be only the Spike study but the discussions I've been reading keep me thinking about the history of Spike and the enormous transformations of his life.

Thank you - it's good to get the feed back and how I wish that someone would use this for a banner for either a story or an analysis piece on these two and their history.

One of the reasons that I like "Destiny" so much was because it showed a bit of their history and the powerful theme of that history and how Spike transformed from the newly sired Willie to the Spike who beat Angel/Angelus. The symbolism of "Destiny" to me is of vital importance to understanding their relationship and the Transformation Journey of Spike.
